Their objective was stt at $5,500,000, but this objective was exceeded and approximately $7,000,000 was received from the Canadian public. These funds were held by the Canaâ€" dian War Services Fund Incorporated and released from time to time to the organizations as required. It had been agreed that The Navy League of Canada should join with the other national auxiliary services orâ€" ganizations in a joint public appeal for funds to be made in the spring of this year, at a date to be announced.

In order to permit such a public appeal the government would have had to stand aside for a considerable period of time and leave the field clear for the naticonal public appeal of these organizations.

Such committees will be charged with the responsibility of seeing that the memâ€" bers of the armed forces are adequately provided for in the urban centres and that funds will be found for such necessary â€" auxiliary services. It is hnoped such committees will work with the‘ national auxiliary services organâ€" izations with a view to coâ€"ordinating the auxiliary services activities of all organizations within their respective communities. . Pending the establishâ€" ment of such Citizens‘ Committees where they do not now presently exist, the government will, in conjunction with the national auxiliary services organizations, explore means for conâ€" tinuing such services. It is the opinâ€" ion of the Department of National War Services that Citizens‘ Committees can secure the funds necessary to carry on their activities through various money raising projects that do not inâ€" volve public or personal solicitation of funds.
